![[Groot] Part 6 of Witherdust's Guardians of the Galaxy Project!
I AM GROOT!!!
Whew! This is the first time I've ever tried something like this. Quite difficult at times but definitely a very fun project and a good learning experience.
I pretty much built a frame out of random parts and just sculpted away from there. The head's fully sculpted.
Enjoy! God Bless!!!](userimages/customs/47500/47310-1.jpg) Groot | ![[Star-Lord] Part 5 of Witherdust's Guardians of the Galaxy Project!
This time featuring Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord. Definitely my favorite Guardian and probably one of my most favorite Marvel heroes.
Recipe:
a. XMC Airstrike Wolverine Body and upper legs (extended and sculpted over)
b. TML Punisher upper arms (sculpted over)
c. FO Captain America Gloves
d. FO Punisher lower legs
e. HML movie Juggernaut + TML Punisher head + Sculpt
f. MM TDK Bruce Wayne alt. head
g. LCBH Super Patriot pouches](userimages/customs/47500/47309-1.jpg) Star-Lord |
![[Rocket Raccoon] Part 4 of Witherdust's Guardians of the Galaxy Project!!!
So yeah, a mini-BAF Rocket Raccoon was just announced. Actually that announcement made me decide to post these guys online somehow as most of them was done sometime November 2012.
This little guy was made from a G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary Cobra Commander body and an Airstrike/ HOM Wolverine head. I had to sculpt all over the head as well as chop-off the lower legs and create a frame that resembles a Raccoon's legs which was the sculpted over.

I found myself playing along with the idea of a clothed Drax after seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy movie concept poster and the idea of a sword wielding Drax after seeing the Marvel Now! version. So this one is just a simple mod where I added a sliced-off Monsters boxset Dracula coat and a pair of Face-off Red Skull swords...
... I guess I'll be keeping him this way for now, as I plan to make a bigger-bodied Drax somewhere down the line.
... And I guess I call this version Drax the Titan Hunter.

Gamora: The most dangerous woman in the galaxy
Recipe:
Body: HML Skrull Elektra
Head: DCUC Zatanna (The prettiest head I could find at the time that would make a believable Gamora)
Cape: MM TDK Batman
Sword: LOTR Ringwraith
Belt Buckle: LCBH Madman
... As of posting, I noticed that there are still some patches that I missed when applying the matte coat... Imma have to fix that later.
Enjoy! Critiques and advices are most welcome! :D](userimages/customs/47500/47255-1.jpg) Gamora | ![[Mantis and Cosmo] Part 1 of Witherdust's Guardians of the Galaxy Project!
So here's my first 2 figures, the team's Telepaths, Mantis and Cosmo
I'm posting these first because, admittedly, they're the sloppiest among the bunch. I'd probably have to remake them, especially Mantis down the line. But for now, they'd have to do.
Recipe:
a. Mantis: LCBH Witchblade with TML Elektra arms and lower legs, rubber band for the frills.
b. Cosmo: some random toy dalmatian + sculpt

![[Hawkeye] Head: TML Sentry
Body, Upper arms: FO Punisher
Lower body, Thighs: UL Punisher
Lower legs: TML Ultimate Captain America
Fore arms: MM TDK Batman
Shades: DCD Agent Diana Prince
Quiver: Some cheap toy's machine gun barrel
Fixed Arrows: Identity crisis Green Arrow
Bow: Unknown. I just found this at a convention
So I made this custom because of my frustration in not being able to buy a 6" Movie Hawkeye during its launch in our country. I gave up on the idea of ever owning one since restocks doesn't appear to be ever happening. So, I put together this parts after seeing Luxus' version, with the exception of the MM TDK forearms which I chose to give him a firm grip for his bow. I the sculpted his costume details, then paint... I also attached a small wire tubing to his bow so that it could hold on to the metal rod that I am currently using as his arrow. This, and the MM TDK forearms enabled him to have a mean and sturdy shooting pose.

Upper Arms, hands, Lower legs: Sinister 6 Spidey
Peter Parker Head: Dr. Strange
Web Shooters: TML Black Widow
Back Pack: Movie Peter Parker
Mask: SDCC Stan Lee
I do agree whenever somebody says that the McF Spidey is the best factory Spidey ever produced. My only problem with that fig is its scrawny-ness (see the comparison shot with a Fearsome Foes Spidey with a BA head). With that, I made this custom. I just basically put together the recipe, shaved some parts of the neck peg to allow easy head-swapping, sculpted the muscles for the thigh and shortened one of the Sinister 6 Spidey lower legs since one is a little taller than the other. I also resculpted some parts of the Dr. Strange head to give him a youthful look... I also thought it could be fun to give him some removable web shooters... I originally wanted to give him a new head but I can't find one in time. There you go, my slightly, yet, not overtly muscular Spider-Man!

![[Captain America (Bucky Barnes)] Good day realmers! So, I’d possibly get my very own piece of the new RML Bucky-Cap in a couple of days. I just wanted to make a post for this little guy who had been filling-in for the spot in my display for a good 2 years since his completion around December of 2009, shortly after my 1st Bucky-Cap. And as you can see, some parts of him needs some paint re-touching... Paired weapons for this bad boy ‘cause double wield is awesome.
Recipe
FO Punisher: Body (sculpted front and rear stars), Weapons (Boot knife re-positioned to left shoulder; Luger? pistol repositioned to left leg)
FO Cap: Head (resculpted), Belt, Boots
LCBH Madman: Gloves
ML6 Punisher: Pistol and Holster
Bullseye: strap

Not that I'm expecting the movie to be any good, but I really like the rather "fresh" and un-cheesy design of this version's rider...
I used a movie Caretaker with raging GR legs and movie Doctor Octopus lower arms. I made the "molten spots" by stabbing the fig with a pin heated over a candle. The rubber flames on the torso of the Caretaker were also removed in-order to accommodate the closing of the jacket. The foot was also replaced to that of a box-set Dracula for the foot pegs of the bike.
I tried my hardest to make the bike (Series 7 Ghost Rider) look at least a little close to the modified Yamaha V-Max they used. The original was pretty much "chop-shopped" in-order to replicate a V-Max's dimentions. Some parts of some bike toy were also added, then sculpted over. I didn't bother to "pretty" it out since it's all burned-up and molten in the movie anyway.

![[Midnight Sons] There are some threats that neither star-spangled men nor children of the atom would suffice.
Such threats when silent wars in the middle of the night are being fought by those who seek to spill innocent blood, and heroes no less darker than these vile evil oppressors.
When the glorious heroes of our days would not and could not defend us in these threats from the unknown beyond, these monsters are our last hope
This Order has a long history. Not all of it clean. But always on the right side. They do and would always seek to bring light into darkness.
They are the Midnight Sons.
Hey guys, I’m here to present to you my Midnight Sons custom. I decided to make customs of them since I haven’t found any satisfactory factory made figs of them. And having Halloween just around the corner, I figured it'd be ice to post my stuff. So, here we go:

As we all know, Emma Frost is one of the HOTTEST X-Men characters of all time... And while the figure's head isn't really the ugliest ever... Oh wait erase that. It is bloody horrible! so much so that I can't sleep at night with that thing in my shelf. So as with a lot of guys did, I replaced her head with the FF4 Jessica Alba Head. So much better!
